Question
A red blood cell with an intracellular fluid (ICF) concentration of 280 mmol/L, is placed into an environment
were the concentration of the extracellular fluid (ECF) is 305 mmol/L. As a result, water will move across the
cell/plasma membrane.
a) Name the process by which water moves
b) Describe the overall direction of movement of the water. Answer choices: (i) From outside the cell to inside
the cell (ii) From inside the cell to outside the cell, or (iii) Equally, into and out of the cell
iii Explain your reasoning for your answer to part (c). 1In your answer you must describe the environment on
both sides of the membrane, and use 3 of the following 4 terms correctly; hypertonic, hypotonic, lower solute
concentration, higher solute concentrationn (2pts
